Holy crap... What a depressing Christmas show Dragnet was... about a 9 year old kid who opens his present early... after finding it hidden in the closet... and... well... I'll let you listen to it. No spoilers. Dum da dum dum... this is the city. They sure did the show well though... compared with others of the era.

I remember the first time I heard that show ... probably Christmas of 1970 or 71 when Jack Cullen played it. I believe that was the only Christmas Dragnet show. It repeated for several years from the late 40s to mid 50s.

Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music.
